A MAN skulks round the Bomber Command War Memorial — moments before it is
defaced with the word “Islam”.

CCTV footage shows the suspect — dressed in black and wearing a hat and gloves
— appearing to spray the wall, pausing briefly as a car flies past.
“Islam” was daubed in red letters 2ft high on the £7million monument in
London’s Green Park, built to remember the brave airmen killed during World
War II.

Jim Dooley, head of Bomber Command’s fundraising, said: “This is heartbreaking
for the veterans. I just hope police can find this thug.”
Cops also want to speak to a man admiring the statue moments before and the
driver of an Audi who pulled up just after at around 3.10am on Monday.
Identical graffiti was sprayed on the Animals In War memorial in nearby Park
Lane.
The attacks came in the wake of the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, brutally
hacked to death last week on the street in Woolwich, South East London.
